  • Fascinating and absorbing

    I tripped across Simon Mills on the Drs Kitchen podcast and had to listen more than once due to Simon’s wisdom and knowledge. I’m also a client of Dr Sally Moorcroft, who has been instrumental in steering me out of stress driven fatigue and hormonal imbalance.

    So that’s what brought me here… I’m staying for the wealth of knowledge sharing out of interest, rather than as a practitioner.

  • Fascinating world

    I love the idea of being “herbal curious”! There’s much in this podcast that goes past me but I’m beginning to get glimpses into what herbalism is. Much more than quick fix “herbal remedies”! I enjoy the style of presentation and am in awe of the depth of experience and wisdom. Thank you!
